From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030509 Description of problem: After installing Mozilla 1.4b from Raw Hide, I tried the suggestion listed at http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/javalinux.html with JRE 1.4.1 RPM downloaded from Sun. Mozilla does not recognise the plugin and it is not listed when viewing about:plugins Downgrading JRE 1.4.1 to JRE 1.3.1, also downloaded from Sun and applying the suggestion again, still the Java plugin is not detected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mozilla-1.4b-1 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade Mozilla in RH9 to the Mozilla in Raw Hide 2. Java plugin not detected 3. Upgrade JRE, Java plugin stil not detected Actual Results: Java plugin not detected Expected Results: Java plugin must be detected Additional info:
This is in the release notes of Mozilla! You need a java plugin that is compiled with gcc 3.2. Blackdown has one for 1.4.1. Sun has a 1.4.2beta that has both. You need to link the 3.2 one to your plugins directory.
